Whoa: This New Grinderman Single Art

Grinderman, Nick Cave's awesomely ugly Bad Seeds side project, will unleash sophomore album Grinderman 2 in Europe September 13 via Mute, and a day later in the U.S. via Anti-. The first single from the album, "Heathen Child", is out in Europe on August 2 and the U.S. August 31. The Road director John Hillcoat, who also helmed the bloody-minded, Cave-written Western The Proposition, has filmed the video for it. And yes, that really is the cover art.

Hillcoat has also directed two ominous, nonsensical, and generally awesome trailers for Grinderman 2. Check them out below, via the Anti- website.
